Roma Secures Konstantinos Koulierakis in €16.5 Million Deal from Wolfsburg
Roma has officially announced the acquisition of Greek defender Konstantinos Koulierakis from Wolfsburg for a reported fee of €16.5 million, with an additional €1.5 million in performance-related add-ons and a 20 percent sell-on clause included in the agreement. The 22-year-old Greece international underwent his medical examinations today before signing a five-year contract with the Italian club. Koulierakis will don the number 33 jersey for the Giallorossi as he joins to strengthen their defensive lineup.
Koulierakis, who earned his first senior cap for Greece in 2022, has already accumulated 22 international appearances. His football journey began in the PAOK Salonika youth academy, and he made the move to Wolfsburg in 2024 for approximately €11.75 million. Despite reported interest from Premier League side Crystal Palace and Portuguese club Benfica, Roma moved decisively to secure his signature.
While Koulierakis is expected to serve primarily as an understudy to Mario Hermoso in Roma’s defensive structure, his arrival adds valuable depth to the backline. The transfer represents a significant investment in defensive talent as Roma aims to bolster their squad for the ongoing campaign.
In a statement welcoming him, Roma’s official channels shared: “Benvenuto a Roma, Konstantinos,” marking the start of the Greek defender’s new chapter with the Giallorossi.
